Enter Hearthwright Center-out growth
Buildings are placed one at a time from the heart outward, so housing reaches ~90% and the layout reads like a town that actually grew.
Deterministic · Living settlements · Realm Engine ready
Towns that feel lived‑in.
A fantasy settlement generator that builds a place, not just a map.
Hearthwright grows hamlets to capitals one building at a time — districts shaped by wealth and the races who live there, houses for nearly every soul, shops and taverns stocked with real inventories and named keepers, temples with clergy, a town seat with a titled ruler, and the walls, towers, rivers, piers and forests that frame it all. Same seed, same town — every time.

Settlement types
Built down to the last household.
Not a noise map of rooftops — a settlement with people, trades, faith, and a place in the world.
Districts with character
Quarters take shape by wealth and the races that settle them, each named for its make-up — click for population, racial mix, and building breakdown.
Shops you can open
Markets, taverns and workshops carry named owners, staff, and stocked inventories. Click a stall and see exactly who runs it and what's for sale.
Faith & power
Temples are staffed with clergy and a deity; a town seat houses a titled ruler. Every settlement gets a backbone of who's in charge.
Walls, water & wild
Encircling walls with real towers, rivers and coasts with bridges and piers, paintable ponds, and forests of pine or woodland — framed and hand-tunable.
Realm Engine import
Pull a settlement straight from your Realm Engine world — population, races, terrain and ruler — and Hearthwright lays out the town to match.
